Hello Sven Lankes,
I am using CentOS8 and am using various packages in the EPEL
repository. I am interested in seeing 'daemonize' [0] added to EPEL.
Would it be possible for you to maintain the package in EPEL? If not
do you know of a maintainer who could help you with it? While EPEL[1]
is more conservative in package maintenance, it does allow for updates
to later versions when needed.
If you are not interested in EPEL or don't feel like you have the time
to put your packages into EPEL, the EPEL project would like to request
that a co-maintainer who is a part of EPEL be added to your packages.
The EPEL team appreciates your help with EPEL.
Regards,
Gerard Braad

Your request came at a timely time. I was just starting to work on
updating (making it more clear) how to request packages for EPEL.
Although there is some brief instructions here[2], which I am going to
expand, I realize I also need to put those instructions in the FAQ.
In short, you need to open a bugzilla bug requesting the package be
put in EPEL8. But do a quick search to see if already has been
requested.
The problem with sending an email here is that it's quite possible the
Fedora maintainer isn't on this mailing list.
Doing a quick search, it looks like someone must have been on the same
project and/or saw this email,[3] because there is a bug opened today.
